Remember when people said getting Stepherson wouldn't make that much of a difference....

Too funny.

With them getting the second half KO, would love to see the D shut them down here with time for our offense. Big possession.

D needs to step up here and make the key stop. I'd like to have the lead going into the half, especially since they get the ball.

Aaand first play is a 24 yard completion...

NCS doesn't seem to have same amount of energy that it had in the first set of defense in the first quarter.

It is true but Findley is 7-16 for 122 yds. They have 26 yards rushing. They have one offensive score.

It is working. Dang punt TO.

Good job defense! Okwara with some pressure! Forces the quicker throw there. Let's go offense. Take it to them here.

Finke needs to get the guys away from the ball better.

Time of Possession:
ND 14:23
NCS 11:09

Would be nice to pound them here hold onto the ball and score again before half.

Findley is getting the ball out super quick. But it also means he has minimal time to read the defense. A few times he's just sailed the ball due to our pressure

I think ND is executing their defensive gameplan well.

Last week, it was all about forcing Darnold and the USC offense to keep it small. They jumped out to a big lead and forced USC to bleed clock and dink and dunk their way to the endzone.

This week, Finley is at his best in the intermediate/short game. ND is taking that away. But they need to play more disciplined on the long throws because NC State has gotten a few, and they need to do a better job of pressuring.

Let's put our foot on the throat. Feels like Adams is due to break a big run.

This - If Elko doesn't win the Broyles award it's a joke.

Brandon Wimbush's confidence is growing. He doesn't make that throw 3 weeks ago.

Thanks Doug. We are only winning because of injuries on their DL.
